Each year, Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful (KPB), a statewide nonprofit, announces the recipients of its recognition program for individuals, government, organizations, and businesses whose efforts support and strengthen the mission of a clean and beautiful Pennsylvania.

The KPB Community Partner Award honors outstanding partnerships with local government, community organizations, or businesses that enhance and are essential to local community programming. The 2021 recipients include Capital Region Water.

Capital Region Water (CRW) was nominated by Keep Harrisburg-Dauphin County Beautiful for their nine-year partnership. Capital Region Water prioritized the construction of practical ways to address issues of storm water and litter accumulation, provided drivers and trucks to round up accumulated litter during the Great Harrisburg Litter Cleanup, and provides street sweeping for the city of Harrisburg. Additionally, CRW advocates for the vision in the Heart of the Hill Community Action Plan, which includes numerous physical improvement projects, green spaces, and cleanups.
